Instructions

1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice with water in a rice cooker or pot until tender.

2

In a small saucepan, heat rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice and let it cool to room temperature.

3

Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and cover it with plastic wrap. Lay a sheet of nori on top, shiny side down.

4

Wet your hands and spread a thin layer of rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

5

Arrange slices of fish, avocado, and cucumber in a line along the bottom edge of the rice-covered nori.

6

Roll the sushi tightly using the bamboo mat, applying gentle pressure. Slice into bite-sized pieces with a sharp, wet knife.

7

Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.

Chef's Tips

  • Rice Consistency: The rice should be sticky but not mushy. If it’s too dry, sprinkle a little water while mixing.
  • Fresh Fish: Always use sushi-grade fish to ensure safety and quality.
  • Sharp Knife: Use a very sharp knife to cut the sushi rolls cleanly. Wetting the knife between cuts helps prevent sticking.
  • Variations: Try adding crab sticks, tempura shrimp, or cream cheese for different flavors.
  • Storage: Sushi is best eaten fresh but can be stored in the fridge for a few hours wrapped in cling film.
